theperksofnotbeingafaggot answered your question: Got beard care questions?
do you have to consistently shave your beard before growing it out to a majestic length?
certainly not. if you want a majest long beard, your only rule is to let it grow. shaving does not make hair grow faster or fuller. it may appear to at first, because all the hair is at the same length when it begins to grow back but as time goes by the growth rate will vary and will be the same as before. not thicker, and no faster growing.
